Popular Veggies (and 1 herb) for your Garden
SOURCE: mishry.com
Vegetables help us to be fit and healthy due to the abundance of proteins, vitamins, and other essential nutrients found in them. Here are ten of the most popular veggies grown in gardens today, as well as details on some of their attributes.
1. Cherry Tomatoes / Small and round, these taste the same as normal tomatoes and are used in everything from salads to curries and of course can also be eaten raw straight off the plant – a nice, sun-warmed snack for the gardener making his or her rounds.
2. Zucchini / Rich in Vitamin A. This summer squash falls in the same category as cucumbers, melons, and spaghetti squash. Zucchini is an extremely healthy vegetable as a source of iron, calcium, zinc, and several vitamins.
3. Celery / You may not know this, but celery is rich in fiber and nutrients and helps lower cholesterol, treats constipation, reduces stress hormone levels, fights inflammation and provides many other benefits.

From Vietnamese cold spring rolls to spicy chicken lettuce wraps, there are many ways beyond the green salad to incorporate lettuce into your diet.
